حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ صِلَةَ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأَهْلِ نَجْرَانَ لَأَبْعَثَنَّ يَعْنِي عَلَيْکُمْ يَعْنِي أَمِينًا حَقَّ أَمِينٍ فَأَشْرَفَ أَصْحَابُهُ فَبَعَثَ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 3746
Narrated Abu Bakra: I heard the Prophet talking at the pulpit while Al-Hasan was sitting beside him, and he (i.e. the Prophet ) was once looking at the people and at another time Al-Hasan, and saying, "This son of mine is a Saiyid (i.e. chief) and perhaps Allah will bring about an agreement between two sects of the Muslims through him."
